Speaking to newsmen, Llorente said: “No way. They talk about so many names that don’t end up coming, it’s no use talking.
“If he comes, there will be time to talk. I, at least, try to pass the subject because there is too much talk.”
He added, “You all know him and you know everything he has achieved . It is more the coaching staff and the club that should decide.”
